Remote construction when off planet

Post by ArgleBargle »

Similar to how construction of space platforms is handled, the player should be able to do remote construction on Nauvis when off-planet (and vice versa).

After my first trip off-world, my home base on Nauvis was overrun by biters due to a breach in my perimeter. I wasn't able to do anything about it since I was offworld. This is very limiting for the player and can result in a game being lost due to no fault of their own. To solve this, the player should be able to do remote construction on a planet when not on it.

Or, before leaving, build a roboport network with sufficient logistics capability to repair/rebuild...

You can leave tanks (with one specific research) as controllable body doubles on planets.
Tanks have equipment grid now. AND (as of v2.0.20 which went Release recently) tanks don't need elaborate contraptions to refuel remotely.
Personal roboports are cheap. And priciest logi/construction robot components are needed for yellow science pack production anyway.
If you need this feature now - you can do it now.
